Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3 to 9, the fastening end 2042 is provided with a thread, and the mating portion is provided with a threaded hole 103; when the connection plug 202 is inserted into the data interface 102, the threaded hole 103 is located opposite to the fastening end 2042, so that the fastening end 2042 can be connected to the threaded hole 103 by the thread.

In particular, a threaded connection is a simple and reliable way of connection. In the embodiment, the fastening end 2042 is provided with a thread, the matching portion is provided with a threaded hole 103 (refer to fig. 10), and the electronic device 100 is reliably connected with the data line 200 through matching of the thread and the threaded hole 103.

In addition, in practical applications, the periphery of the data line 200 is usually wrapped with a mantle made of soft material, and in order to reduce the production cost and simplify the production process, the fixing table 203 can also be made of the same material as the mantle. During production, the fastening end 2042 can be directly pressed into the through hole 2031 by an external force, and then exposed out of one end of the through hole 2031 through the through hole 2031. The diameter of the fastening end 2042 is selected to be 0.1-0.5mm larger than the diameter of the through hole 2031, so that the fastening end 2042 can pass through the through hole 2031 conveniently on one hand, and the fastening end 2042 can be prevented from falling off from the through hole 2031 after assembly is completed on the other hand.

Due to the structural form, the fasteners 204 can be prevented from falling off from the two ends, the integrity of the fixing structure and the whole data line 200 is enhanced, and the carrying is convenient. In addition, since the fastening member 204 needs to be fixedly connected with the mating portion, the moving position of the fastening member 204 on the fixing table 203 is limited within a certain moving range by the limiting boss 2032, which is also convenient for determining the position of the mating portion. The limiting end 2041 may also be provided with anti-slip threads. When the fastening element 204 is fixedly connected to the mating portion by an external force, it is usually required to be connected to the mating portion by the limiting end 2041, and the anti-slip pattern is disposed on the limiting end 2041 to increase friction force, so that the fastening element 204 can be screwed or otherwise fastened to the mating portion, and the reliability of the connection between the data line 200 and the electronic device 100 is further enhanced.

Optionally, the plugging direction of the connection plug 202 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the line body 201.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, by setting the plugging direction (a) of the connection plug 202 and the extending direction (B) of the line body 201 to be perpendicular to each other, the distance between the fixing structure and the connection plug 202 can be adjusted according to the structure of the specific electronic device 100, so as to avoid that the plugging of the connection plug 202 and the data interface 102 is affected due to the proximity of the connection plug 202 and the fixing structure.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 8 to 9, the fixing structure includes a knob screw, a metal nut 104 is embedded on the housing 101, and when the connection plug 202 is connected to the data interface 102, the metal nut 104 and the knob screw are disposed opposite to each other, so that the knob screw can be connected to the metal nut 104 in a matching manner.

Specifically, the housing 101 of the electronic device 100 is generally made of plastic or other easily deformable materials, which easily causes the problem of connection failure during the connection of the fixing structure and the housing 101. In this embodiment, the fixing structure includes a knob screw, and a metal nut 104 (refer to fig. 11) with an internal threaded hole 103 is embedded on the housing 101, which can be connected with the knob screw in a matching manner, so that the connection between the metal nut 104 and the knob screw is more reliable and firm.

Optionally, the metal nut 104 is integrally formed with the housing 101.

Specifically, in actual production, the metal nut 104 may be embedded in an injection mold, and the housing 101 may be obtained by injection molding, so that the metal nut 104 and the housing 101 are directly injection molded. The connection mode of the metal nut 104 and the shell 101 is simple in process and capable of reducing production cost, and on the other hand, the connection tightness can be enhanced, and the metal nut 104 can be prevented from falling off from the shell 101.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 11, an end of the metal nut 104 away from the surface of the housing 101 is provided with a flange to block the metal nut 104 from moving toward the surface of the housing 101.

Specifically, after the knob screw is connected to the metal nut 104, under the action of various external forces, the flanged portion can enable the metal nut 104 to be embedded in the housing 101 more firmly, so as to prevent the metal nut 104 from falling off.
